Zechariah 7
7:1And it came to pass in the fourth year of Darius the king, the word of the lord came to Zechariah the fourth of the ninth month, which is Chisleu.
7:2And Sherezar sent to Beth-el, and Regem the king, and his men, to atone the lord,
7:3saying to the priests in the house of the lord almighty, and to the prophets, saying, The sanctified offering has entered here in the fifth month, as it did already a fit number of years.
7:4And came to pass the word of the lord of the forces to me, saying,
7:5Speak to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, If you should fast or beat your chest in the fifth or in the seventh months, and behold, for seventy years, by fasting have you fasted to me?
7:6And if you should eat or should drink, do you not eat and drink to yourselves?
7:7Are not these my words, which the lord spoke by the hands of the prophets, of the ones before, when Jerusalem was inhabited, and prospering? and her cities round about, and the mountainous area, and the plain was inhabited?
7:8And came to pass the word of the lord to Zechariah, saying,
7:9Thus says the lord almighty, saying, A just judgment you shall judge, and let each execute mercy and compassion towards his brother!
7:10And tyrannize not the widow and orphan and foreigner and needy! and let each not resent the hurt of his brother in your hearts!
7:11And they resisted to take heed, and they gave their backside ranting, and pressed their ears to not listen,
7:12and their heart was ordered for resisting persuasion, to not listen to my law, and the words which the lord almighty sent out by his spirit, by the hands of the prophets, of the ones before. And there was great anger by the lord almighty.
7:13And it will be in which manner I spoke, and they did not listen to him, so they shall cry out, and in no way shall I listen, says the lord almighty.
7:14And I will cast them into all the nations which they did not know. And the land shall be obliterated after them from traveling, and from returning through it. Yes, they ordered up the choice land for extinction.
